[Bug 1582011] Re: Swap Failed, Indefinite hang on reboot/shutdown "Reached target Shutdown"

Mon Aug 1 22:52:46 UTC 2016

Update:
I used a spare HDD on the same laptop and setup 16.04 LTS per Ubuntu Disk Partitioning recommendations as follows: Swap, /, and Home in that order. Grub is on the 1st Primary as boot, Swap, /, and Home are logical on the 1st extended.  There are no other operating systems on this HDD. There is only this one HDD physically installed.  With this HDD installed as described here I NO LONGER have issues during shutdown or reboot.  

If I physically install the original HDD as it is described in this bug
description I Still DO have issues with the hang on shutdown and reboot.

I cannot conclude anything but I speculate that the original HDD setup
as /, Home, Swap in that order, or the config of fstab may have some
significance to the issue.

It has been over 2 months using this new HDD in my laptop without any
hangs.  There has never been a Target reached Shutdown hang since
installing the new HDD.  I waited to be sure the hang is gone before
reporting any new data.  I will keep this new hardware configuration and
use the original HDD as a spare for future use.

Thank you for all your efforts to resolve the issue.

Title:
  Swap Failed, Indefinite hang on reboot/shutdown "Reached target
  Shutdown"

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug has been affecting me since 15.04
  Prior to shutdown I activate debug-shell 'systemctl start debug-shell'
  I have followed bug #1464917 and installed Xenial-proposed with systemd 229-4ubuntu5 package.  
  I have finally collected shutdown info using vt9.  
  Issues collecting info due to what I believe is a timeout where vt9 is not activated when ctl+alt+F9 is pressed.  I was able to collect info in vt9 to file "shutdown.text" I appended outputs to file "shutdown.text" the following commands in this order:
  systemctl list-jobs >>shutdown.text
  systemctl --failed >>shutdown.text
  uname -a >>shutdown.text
  systemd --version >>shutdown.text
  lsblk >>shutdown.text
  blkid >>shutdown.text
  journalctl -b >>shutdown.text
  systemctl -all >>shutdown.text
  journalctl -xe >>shutdown.text

  After gaining these data I was only able to finish the reboot with the alt+Sysrq and REISUB which forces a reboot even when I just want to shutdown
  Each output I separated upon next boot by hand with a line ######################### for easier perusing.

  As a workaround for shutdown/reboot I turn swap off, 'sudo swapoff -a
  && systemctl poweroff' or 'sudo swapoff -a && reboot'  which
  occasionally fails if SWAP has more data than available RAM.  In that
  latter case I am left waiting for the hang and then using
  alt+Sysrq+REISUB to reboot then shutdown again immediately upon boot
  before SWAP has a chance to gain data, then I can use any form of
  halt, poweroff or menu to shutdown.

  I have been unable to get answers from AskUbuntu or the above listed
  bug #1464917 "Reached target Shutdown"  I am filing this bug per
  instructions requested in that bug.  Other systemd bugs I have
  researched #788303 Debian bug reports, #2930 Github and #3087 Github.

  Thanks for your time and efforts to help with this issue.
